*Figures accurate as of 30th of July 2011

This month we now have all paramedic societies across Australia represented – What a fantastic achievment.

Paraquinas (Australian Catholic University) has remained in the lead with a massive 25 donations (14.20%). Yet, SPU (Queensland University of Technology) closing the gap rapidly, securing second place with a respectable 44 donations (13.61%). UTAS – Rozelle, who have only joined SPA’s club RED challenge is now in third place with an amazing 5 donations (10%). Well done Paraquinas, SPU and UTAS - Rozelle.

 

Also, there seems to have been some donations recently that have not been added correctly to this tally. When donating, remember to put your society same (refer above) and SPA, to ensure your donation is added correctly to your paramedic society tally.
